  • Can I edit down mic bleed in Audition?

    Posted by Edward Holpfer on May 29, 2015 at 4:44 pm

    I’m new to using Audition to edit my podcasts and am running into an issue with mic bleed.

    We have 4 people sitting around a 6′ table, each with their own Heil PR 40 in a fairly dead room.

    I apply the Speech Leveler tool to each of the tracks and adjusted it to where each track sounded good individually. When I listened to the tracks together, the voices and rustling sounds of the others in the room are also boosted and make for tinny sounding audio.

    Is there an automated way to cut down the mic bleed or will I need to go track by track cutting out the portions where that person isn’t speaking?

    Thanks in advance.

    a noise gate should work. it will automatically cutoff lower db sounds. If the db is just as loud in all mics, you’ll have to manually select what you want to hear.

    you may want to invest in a hardware automixer, which does this on the fly during production.

    Thanks for the advice. I will start with the noise gate.
